PROJECT:
Church related uses, church parking, child daycare and assisted
living facility

Staff
Recommendation:

The
Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed
rezoning for the subject propertyfrom
County RP (Residential/Professional) to City R-2 (Medium Density Residential).

Analysis:

The
project site is approximately 4.3 acres. The property is generally located on
the west side of C.R. 468, north of Veech Road and south of Lisa Dare Drive as
shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this
property is County RP (Residential/Professional). The current use of the
property is undeveloped and the proposed uses are church related uses, church
parking, child daycare and assisted living facility. The surrounding zoning
designations are County RP (Residential/Professional), City R-2 (Medium Density
Residential), City R-3 (High Density Residential) and City C-1 (Neighborhood
Commercial). The surrounding Future Land Use Map
designations are County Urban, City Residential Moderate Density and Low
Density. The existing Land Use designation for the subject property is City Low
Density.

The
proposed zoning district of City R-2 (Medium Density Residential) is compatible
with the adjacent and nearby properties in the area and with the existing future land use designation of
City Low Density.

The
existing land uses surrounding the property are church, non-profit, retail and
single family residential.

Development
of the property requires City utilities.

By
a vote of 6 to 0 on March 18,
2010, the Planning
Commission voted to recommend approval.

Options:

1. Approve the
proposed rezoning to City R-2 (Medium Density Residential) thereby allowing
consistent zoning and development standards for this area.

2. Other such action
as the Commission may deem appropriate.

Fiscal
Impact:

There
is a positive fiscal impact to the City through the further development of this
property.
